I found your story trying to confirm something told me by a retired gentleman who once worked at the Interior Dept gas well near Rifle. At least he said it was near there or Parachute. What he told me that alarmed me was that the well was wide open and blowng gas like crazy. I used to drive by on I-70 each summer and had assumed cedar fires were the reason my eyes and nose ran so badly a box of kleenex couldn’t cut it. But NOW, I suspect it’s my over sensitivity to hydrocarbons that was the culprit. I read that stuff’s fare worse than CO2. How about you?
Now, that dear old man is long retired, so I hope that has been fixed. The last time I drove through it was still as bad, but that was in 2006(?) We know the Interior Department doesn’t regulate itself…what do we think happend there? Where? I’m not even sure, but it sounds like Dept of interior may have put a couple years on the planet, to me.
How about you?
